The correct answer is D. The excerpt should be revised because it contains a dependent clause that leaves the writer's thought unfinished.
Because the endangered panthers in the forests need large, connected territories to roam.
This is a sentence fragment; sentences that begin with 'because' are typically sentence fragments, with a few exceptions (as you can see in the next sentence I wrote).
Because the sentence is grammatically incorrect, it needs to be revised. Therefore, the answer is either C or D. The only question is whether or not the sentence contains an independent clause or a dependent clause. An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can be a sentence on its own. For instance, in the sentence 'We should conserve nature, because the endangered panthers in the forests need large, connected territories to roam.', the independent clause is 'We should conserve nature' because it can stand on its own.
Because this excerpt is a fragment and therefore cannot stand on its own as a complete, grammatically correct sentence, it cannot be an independent clause. The correct answer is D, because the excerpt is a dependent clause and needs to be revised.
Hope this helps!
The answer is either B or D I think
The answer to the first question is A, Humble.
The second answer is D, a desire to know everything
Muir starts off talking about how long he had been sitting by the Calypso-so long that he wasn't tired or hungry anymore. We, as the readers, think he has a bad attitude about sitting by this plant.We think this because it seems like he is describing his wait as painful(he is WAY past being tired or hungry). However, the next sentence contrasts with this idea. When the sun sets, Muir suddenly gets this jolt of purpose and energy, stronger and determined than ever before. Can you see the pattern here? As for the dialogue, it is a woman speaking, and she lives in the log house he sees. She has a negative attitude towards the swamp, while Muir has a positive one. She wonders why he would want to be in a dangerous place like the swamp, explaining that a body was found in it. She then goes on to say that it was God's mercy that Muir was able to get out of the mucky swamp.I hope this helps!
The best summary of paragraph 2 is: "Gregor knows by the reality surrounding him that he has become a bug" (C).
Paragraph 2 is a description of the character's surroundings.
Through Gregor Samsa's eyes, the reader is given a look around the bedroom as Samsa is looking around him to try to find an anchor to reality: "It wasn't a dream;" "a proper human room." His reasoning is probably that if this metamorphosis was all a dream, his room would not look exactly like it was in real life. Yet, because the depiction of the room is so precise, with many details (like the textile samples on the table and the very specific description of the magazine cut-out), Samsa reaches the conclusion that this might be real.
